Founded in 1810 by Edward Ayres in 1810 manufactured a wide range of sporting equipment in over 125 years of its existence.

Most famous was it quality manufacturing of equipment for archery, in particular the bow (or longbow as it is more commonly known). Before man made fibres were the standard for which bows are made today, Ayres manufactured bows principally from Yew (Taxus baccata) - and made them to the standard measurements of the time - 6ft for men and 51/2ft for ladies.

Ayres became part of the Slazengers Sykes Gradidge and Ayres group of companies in the early/mid part of the 20th century.
